It’s the healthy comfort food season and what better way to enjoy than this Pan-Fried Sausage & Apples dish. There are so many delicious elements to this recipe – garlic, onions, mushrooms, red peppers, spinach and sage create a medley of memorable flavors!

The farm has so many different varieties of apples to choose from – Sunrise, Gala, Honey Crisp, Mackintosh and Zestar! I’m all about creating your own flavors so feel free to pick your favorite apple for this dish but I used Sunrise – one of my favorite!

Sweet and savory is always popular and the addition of pan-fried sage takes this dish over the top. When cooked this way, sage leaves lose their pungent, harsh taste entirely and become subtle instead of overpowering.

We all know about the main benefits of apples but did you also know that they:

• Improve neurological health
• Prevent dementia
• Lower levels of bad cholesterol
• Reduce risk of diabetes
